We can pass -o/--output-directory to the format-patch command to store
patches in some place other than the working directory. This patch
introduces format.outputDirectory configuration option for same
purpose.
The case of usage of this configuration option can be convenience
to not pass every time -o/--output-directory if an user has pattern
to store all patches in the /patches directory for example.
The format.outputDirectory has lower priority than command line
option, so if user will set format.outputDirectory and pass the
command line option, a result will be stored in a directory that
passed to command line option.

"git format-patch --ignore-if-upstream A..B" did not like to be fed

* jc/do-not-feed-tags-to-clear-commit-marks:
format-patch: do not feed tags to clear_commit_marks()
"git format-patch --ignore-if-in-upstream A..B", when either A or B
is a tag, failed miserably.
This is because the code passes the tips it used for traversal to
clear_commit_marks(), after running a temporary revision traversal
to enumerate the commits on both branches to find if they have
commits that make equivalent changes. The revision traversal
machinery knows how to enumerate commits reachable starting from a
tag, but clear_commit_marks() wants to take nothing but a commit.
In the longer term, it might be a more correct fix to teach
clear_commit_marks() to do the same "committish to commit"
dereferencing that is done in the revision traversal machinery,
but for now this fix should suffice.

The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command
substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.
The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the
simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded
command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.

Ordinarily, we would say "VAR=VAL command" to execute a tested
command with environment variable(s) set only for that command.
This however does not work if 'command' is a shell function (most
notably 'test_must_fail'); the result of the assignment is retained
and affects later commands.
To avoid this, we used to assign and export environment variables
and run such a test in a subshell, like so:
(
VAR=VAL && export VAR &&
test_must_fail git command to be tested
)
But with "env" utility, we should be able to say:
test_must_fail env VAR=VAL git command to be tested
which is much shorter and easier to read.

As of the last commit, we can use "perl" instead of
"$PERL_PATH" when running tests, as the former is now a
function which uses the latter. As the shorter "perl" is
easier on the eyes, let's switch to using it everywhere.
This is not quite a mechanical s/$PERL_PATH/perl/
replacement, though. There are some places where we invoke
perl from a script we generate on the fly, and those scripts
do not have access to our internal shell functions. The
result can be double-checked by running:
ln -s /bin/false bin-wrappers/perl
make test

Commit a908047 taught format-patch the "--from" option,
which places the author ident into an in-body from header,
and uses the committer ident in the rfc822 from header. The
documentation claims that it will omit the in-body header
when it is the same as the rfc822 header, but the code never
implemented that behavior.
This patch completes the feature by comparing the two idents
and doing nothing when they are the same (this is the same
as simply omitting the in-body header, as the two are by
definition indistinguishable in this case). This makes it
reasonable to turn on "--from" all the time (if it matches
your particular workflow), rather than only using it when
exporting other people's patches.

Format-patch generates emails with the "From" address set to the
author of each patch. If you are going to send the emails, however,
you would want to replace the author identity with yours (if they
are not the same), and bump the author identity to an in-body
header.
Normally this is handled by git-send-email, which does the
transformation before sending out the emails. However, some
workflows may not use send-email (e.g., imap-send, or a custom
script which feeds the mbox to a non-git MUA). They could each
implement this feature themselves, but getting it right is
non-trivial (one must canonicalize the identities by reversing any
RFC2047 encoding or RFC822 quoting of the headers, which has caused
many bugs in send-email over the years).
This patch takes a different approach: it teaches format-patch a
"--from" option which handles the ident check and in-body header
while it is writing out the email. It's much simpler to do at this
level (because we haven't done any quoting yet), and any workflow
based on format-patch can easily turn it on.

format-patch: RFC 2047 says multi-octet character may not be split
Even though an earlier attempt (bafc478..41dd00bad) cleaned
up RFC 2047 encoding, pretty.c::add_rfc2047() still decides
where to split the output line by going through the input
one byte at a time, and potentially splits a character in
the middle. A subject line may end up showing like this:
".... fö?? bar". (instead of ".... föö bar".)
if split incorrectly.
RFC 2047, section 5 (3) explicitly forbids such beaviour
Each 'encoded-word' MUST represent an integral number of
characters. A multi-octet character may not be split across
adjacent 'encoded- word's.
that means that e.g. for
Subject: .... föö bar
encoding
Subject: =?UTF-8?q?....=20f=C3=B6=C3=B6?=
=?UTF-8?q?=20bar?=
is correct, and
Subject: =?UTF-8?q?....=20f=C3=B6=C3?= <-- NOTE ö is broken here
=?UTF-8?q?=B6=20bar?=
is not, because "ö" character UTF-8 encoding C3 B6 is split here across
adjacent encoded words.
To fix the problem, make the loop grab one _character_ at a time and
determine its output length to see where to break the output line. Note
that this version only knows about UTF-8, but the logic to grab one
character is abstracted out in mbs_chrlen() function to make it possible
to extend it to other encodings with the help of iconv in the future.

git-format-patch does currently not parse user supplied extra header
values (e. g., --cc, --add-header) and just replays them. That forces
users to add them RFC 2822/2047 conform in encoded form, e.g.
--cc '=?UTF-8?q?Jan=20H=2E=20Sch=C3=B6nherr?= <...>'
which is inconvenient. We would want to update git-format-patch to
accept human-readable input
--cc 'Jan H. Schönherr <...>'
and handle the encoding, wrapping and quoting internally in the future,
similar to what is already done in git-send-email. The necessary code
should mostly exist in the code paths that handle the From: and Subject:
headers.
